Her Cambridge: Reframing Women’s Hidden Histories
13 March, 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Delve into the untold stories of women in Cambridge with Uncomfortable Cambridge, and critically examine how we narrate their history!
Inspired by Uncomfortable Cambridge‘s Hidden Histories tour, this lecture delves into the untold stories of women in Cambridge and critically examines how we narrate their history. Building on the tour’s exploration of women’s urban, academic, and family lives, the construction of gendered identities, and queer experiences, this talk addresses key questions: What gaps exist in the historical record, and how can we amplify silenced voices? Through case studies of pioneering women scholars, everyday lives, and communities, we’ll explore their struggles, achievements, and the ways historical narratives have excluded or misrepresented them.
Join us to discuss strategies for creating a more comprehensive narrative of Cambridge’s past.
About the speaker:
Uncomfortable Cambridge is a community interest company and a social enterprise that runs unique walking tours that highlight histories of race, gender, class, and legacies of empire. Run by university researchers, our tours are dedicated to diversifying the stories told about Cambridge.
